PROCEDURE Subject to the provisions of'.CitY of Tustin Ordinance No. 439, the Dovelopment Preview Commission has the authority .to review and approve site plans, including landscaping, and irrigation:, for · developments in any of the gene~'al districts delineated above. The necessary plans and their' submi,ttal procedures are described in detail ,in "Inst'ru~ions for Development Preview Applications". POLICY .... Landscaping,. in accordance with., good planningw~principles, is required by City regulations to conceal, screen, buffer, absorb, ~ . separate, and to beautify; and, .in. the landscaping process, develop an attra~2tive outdoor environment. · In the way of illu- stration,~ landscaping may prove very ifi"'~trumental in accomplishing: 1. The Blending of the building and grounds together in such a way as to enlarge the usefulness.: and pleasure of property, improve the appearance, complement the architecture of near- by :.buildings, arid increase the lasting value of the property as well as the property of ~he neighborhood;. 2. The reduction of the apparent Size of bulk areas, such as a par~king lot.

The Development Preview Commission has recommended ~hat rather than establishing specific numerical standards, general guidelines delin-. eating areas of prime .concern on any given s~te should be established instead. This approach would provide a developer with initial indications of the Commission's ultimate desires, and provide the Development Preview Commission in turn the. flexibility needed for the varied sites and situations which they ..... will be analyzing. The Development Preview Commission feels, that although the developer should be alerted to these gener'al guidelines, the element of flexi~ bility is absolutely essential, in order to properly visualize the individual site total design, and as important, to fit that site into the surrounding environment. , · Areas which the Development Preview Commission feel are of common, primary concern to any development are: 1. That all on-site parking areas.and drivewaYs be surfaced with concrete or asphaltic material; 2. That all parking staTls,, driveways, and turning radiuses be to those minimum standards established by the City; 3. T~at requir.ed parking stalls be striped; and, that ~umper guards, concrete curbing, or'.similar devices be installed where the public safety is .i.nvolved, or where necessary for the protection of required landscaped areas or structures'; 4. That required structural f~ont setback areas, except for . driveways, be f~lly landscaped with plant materials with the exception of: a) Where such areas are utilized for parking; and/or, ,. b) Where the landscape design incorporates certain architectural features such as walks,,sculpturing, ponds, decorative walls, etc. Where parking is proposed in the required front setback area, a landscaping belt be provided adjacent to the sidewalk, with either decorative walls or plant screen landscaping of some form provided to the rear of this landscaping belt, in order to effectively visually buffer the automobiles from Public view; 5. That landscaping be provided adjacent to structures where exposed to public view so as to sof, ten the effect of the . , building and surrounding asphalt or concrete areas'; LANDSCAPING & PARKING AREA.
